If the Ohmmeter shows in both cases zero, the diode is defective. If the rea ding is infinity in both cases, there exists a break in the stator. Fig. No.3. . Step 5. For testing the relay coil. connect the testing leads of the O hmmeter to the blue an d b lack w ire s. The r esistance shou ld be about 20 Oh ms. If t he resistance is lower, there is a short circuit b etween th e wi ndings of the relay coil.

Maybe n ot so man y p erc entagewise but Rescue T hree was kept busy and they were never slow about it. The com bination of Rescue Three efficiency and Newhall Ambulance coop era t ion made some o f the medical efforts at real World Championship Grands Prix look shabby. They may have saved a life and th ey sure saved a lot of pain and anguish, "The Viewfinders race co o rd in a to r worked his ass off, setting th is up and everything," [ was told. "You know. he 's the big guy wi th the beard." Looking around. I only saw ab o u t 20 big guys with beards. One of them deserves a fair sha re of praise for a course that. while dusty. wasn't that hard and. while wet. wasn 't impossible. But some of the silty uphills did remind me of the worst desert endures I've had the po o r judgment to ride. But like Carl Cra nke says. " Ge t up on th e pegs. balance, and gas it ." And, you kn ow, it works. And la ter that nigh t. watch ing the "Bad Rock Two Day Trial" by Peter Starr on TV. a cold shiver went through me at how beautifu l the Pen tons, and Dave Eames. and Malco lm, and Lars were riding and I almost cried realizing , that I'll never. no m att er what, be able to rid e that well -the way they are n ow -o r e ve r be as good as them or the Brooks brothers or A .C . who Husky-boogied the sandwash so fast and straigh t but later I felt a little better. though no less sad, because I had ridden better than a lot of fellow Novi ces and, what the hell . it was fun. an yway. And let's face it. there's too little fun in the world. Racing the Viewfinders' G P gives some of it ba ck to us.
